DSCC Stops Running Ads In Kentucky Senate Race

[a kennedy]

FLORENCE, Ky. (AP) — The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has stopped running TV ads in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race, a troublesome sign for Alison Lundergan Grimes in her challenge of Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

In a statement, the committee says it has spent more than $2 million in Kentucky and is still funding get-out-the-vote operations. The committee says it will continue to monitor the race, but it has made no commitment to go back on the air in support of Grimes, who has been pummeled by tens of millions of dollars in attack ads by McConnell and his allies.

The Democratic committee continues to spend heavily in other competitive races in Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia and elsewhere as it tries to prevent Republicans from winning a Senate majority.

1. Then WE have to fund her directly!

It's driving me NUTS that the media is slamming her so much for not saying she voted for Obama in 2012, but I'm pretty sure I know why she did that. McNutball would do ANYTHING to get footage of her saying "I voted for Obama"! She's not going to fall into that trap and I don't blame her.

I'd give ANYTHING to see McNutball go down in November...I think I'll send her campaign a few bucks NOW just to help out. I don't have much $$ and I live in Ga, but if al lot of us toss in a few dollars, we can make up for the darn DSCC.

5. This kind of bullshit...

...is one of the many regions I will not give money to either the DCCC or the DSCC.

8. I don't give to them directly either, but I understand why they're doing what they are.

There's only so much $$ they have available, and when it comes down to the end of the races, they have to make a decision on where to spend the funds they have. As I understand it, they are concentrating on supporting campaigns to keep the =Dems in office that are already there. I agree with that too.

7. Plus from what I heard she has 4million dollars left of her own money

So it would be a smart move to take those resources else where

9. UPDATE - DSCC is shifting funds from Ad buys to ground game...

Ditto with Colorado.
